Abe in games

[Seddo]

Hi I have played the 2 first abe games and they where the best and now when the new games have come, strangers wrath and so on. I haven't seen abe anywhere, will he not be in this games anymore? I realy wanna see him in a game to xbox 360 and ps3.

[Slaveless]

Abe has appeared in Munch's Oddysee, so we can say that he had reached some part of the new games. However, I am sorry to tell you, but you won't be seeing Abe in a game for a long time. OWI has became an all entertainment team now. They decided to make television shows, movies, and games to produce their products. OWI's next Abe appearance will probably be when they make a movie out of Abe's Oddysee. Game wise, I would expect something from a game about Abe in 2014, or 2020 even.

[Seddo]

Damn wtf he was the best character ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xavier]

I think 2014 is a good guess...
but we still have to see

[dripik_12]

OWI's next anniversary is in 2014, right?

[Jordan]

2014? I'll be 20 by then, I hope I'm still a hardcore Oddworld fan... I doubt it will be going to the PS3, the 5th generation consoles will probably be out by then, and it will most likely go to Microsoft again.

[ziggy]

Yes, I also hope that Abe will be in more games. I miss the old kind of oddworld style of games. (Meaning I wish they would make more games like AO and AE.) If they could remake AO and AE in 3d with awesome next gen graphics so it would be like OWI invisioned it, without any limitations, (meaning they could also add the stuff they wanted in but couldn't before) I WOULD BE ONE HAPPY BOY!

Man the gaming industry is really pissing me off these days, which is why I've pretty much given up on most of the new shit.

2014? I'll be 20 by then, I hope I'm still a hardcore Oddworld fan... I doubt it will be going to the PS3, the 5th generation consoles will probably be out by then, and it will most likely go to Microsoft again.

Another reason why I'm sick of the whole gaming thing, I'm gonna have to buy a new console like every 5 years to keep up.

[Seddo]

Can they change there mind about making games, why 2014?? can it be in 2 years and why did they stop making games?

I'll be 20 years old too and OWI'll be 20 years old too

[Jordan]

Man, I really hope I don't grow out of Oddworld... I'll miss some pretty good stuff if I do, but I hope I'm gonna carry on liking it, and I hope I have time to play the games when I'm 20, I could be training to be a games designer by then!

Can they change there mind about making games

If they did that, we’d probably never see Abe again.

why 2014?? can it be in 2 years

Two years is unlikely. Lorne and Sherry haven’t yet made any film deal with Oddworld, let alone a production deal. It’ll be a number of years before we get an Oddworld film.

why did they stop making games?

Because innovative games are becoming ever‐more expensive to produce, tend not to perform well on the market, and are not readily accepted or promoted by game publishers.

2014? I'll be 20 by then, I hope I'm still a hardcore Oddworld fan... I doubt it will be going to the PS3, the 5th generation consoles will probably be out by then, and it will most likely go to Microsoft again.

The fifth generation console included the Sega Saturn, the original Sony PlayStation, and the Nintendo 64: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_g...fth_generation

OWI's next anniversary is in 2014, right?

An anniversary is an annual event. Their next anniversary will be in 2007. Their next bilustral anniversary will be in 2014.

[Seddo]

Ill have to try Munch's oddysse is it a good game? like abe oddysse and exoduse?

[Jordan]

The fifth generation console included the Sega Saturn, the original Sony PlayStation, and the Nintendo 64:

I meant 8th generation, sorry! I wonder what the 8th generation will include?
Sony PS4, Microsoft Xbox 8000, and the Nintendo Ultima! Stupid names I made up lol!

[Xavier]

Ill have to try Munch's oddysse is it a good game? like abe oddysse and exoduse?

It's more cartoony, but it's still a nice game

[Seddo]

Damn i misss the first 2 games I hope they will make something like those again.

[Arxryl]

They might. however it seems like they (if they ever make the games again) will make different types. Like how Stranger's Wrath was a shooter and MO was 3-D. They will probably try to go for a new route with more inovative game strategies. (not saying that AE and AO were non-inovative, but you know... they have already done it.)

[glokstar]

I wish Lorne Lenning would be a super millioner and he would not have to care about making money Im afraid only that would bring back the old style, lovely atmosphere of OW. To me the real OW is AE and AO and i think for most of us...

[Xavier]

to me the real OWI is whatever Lorne thinks it is.
I truely trust him

[glokstar]

Well yes. We all have different opinions of the real OW. Although i do think Lorne knows what hes doing. OWI definately showed that they can make quality games.

But to tie into the topic, i think Lorne knows it very well that most of his "followers" like OW because of OWI's first 2 games. If he wants to make more money and he wants to keep us interested he will need to bring back Abe, the Glukkons the sligs and all what comes with the Abe games sooner or later.

No, the problem with that theory is that Oddworld's existing fans are not enough to keep them going. That's why he came up with SW - it was a game that would/should have appealed to a wider market. He knows that as long as he makes a reasonably good game, we'll follow him anyway.

[Oddys]

I don''t want games. I want story.
In form of Books, Movies or Games.
Whatever.

It's okay as long as Lorne directed it.

I agree, plus I don't realy want to buy another 2D game to follow the story lorne wants to tell us.

Actually wathever Lorne does now I'll buy (except if it's realy terrible, but I don't think Lorne could do that to us ).

They have to find new fans, and they wont succeed to do that with the release of another 2D game

[Jordan]

When Citizen Siege comes out I'll buy all the merchandise I can for it, I'm not missing out on more merch!

[glokstar]

If he will completely turn away from Abe, im sorry but he will probably lose me... not like i matter much

plus I don't realy want to buy another 2D game to follow the story lorne wants to tell us.

how disappointing...

And actually id like to see stories and more art as well much more... Odworld would come through much better through movies. When i play AO or AE i realize that these days i only play them because of the detailed background images... Im bored the of the plot itself. I pray citizen siege will have great success and Lorn and crew will get Abe into the cinemas.

Lets hope.


Oh, oh, oh, and one more thing. 3D is absolutely fine but make it quality like MO was supposed to be as we see from the left out things. Actually MO was a bit disappointing to me after the first two games visual detail-wise... anyway...
